It's not all about me

It was hard sitting in the examination room at our local clinic and hearing the words, " Mr. McFarland, your x-ray shows you have a spot on your lung. I don't want either of you to worry," the nurse practicioner quickly added. "This doesn't mean it's terminal, it's still small, and there is no sign it has traveled to other parts of the body. It does mean you need to take this referral to a nearby doctor who can do further testing. However, its important you do it as soon as possible."
